Here's a place where I can post my thoughts on new papers, provide updates on my projects, and post info that will eventually be on my website The Theropod Database - http://theropoddatabase.com/ . It will center on theropods, but may delve into other topics as well such as phylogenetics.

I'm still alive! And look- Megaraptor foot!

Just wanted to reassure everyone I'm still here. I've been doing *gasp* actual work to be submitted, finishing off the last appendix of the manuscript. But in the absence of something else, here's a Photoshop rendition of Megaraptor's metatarsus using the holotype (metatarsal III, from Novas, 1998), MUCPv-341 (metatarsal IV, from Calvo et al., 2004) and UNPSJB-PV 958 (metatarsal II, from Lamanna, 2004). The individuals are almost the same size based on their manual unguals Is, so the metatarsals are at almost the same scale.
